Jaime Edmondson (Jaime & Cara from TAR) and Evan Longoria had a baby today -- nm - prayformojo Feb 22, 16:11 9
- I've been seeing that name more and more lately. There seems to be a lack of awareness that it is Spanish for James. -- nm - con_carne Feb 22, 16:46 6
  - I thought Diego was Spanish for James? No? -- nm - Kelly Feb 22, 17:01 2
    - My guess would have been Diego = Douglas, but I don't see it listed here -- nm - con_carne Feb 22, 17:09
    - Huh. A quick wiki search suggests Jaime, Diego and James are all related via the older name Jacob. Interesting. -- nm - con_carne Feb 22, 17:08
  - I thought it was spanish for Ivan, which is Russian for CRAZY ASS MOTHERF***ER - Beryllium Feb 22, 16:48 2
    - that would be Juan. -- nm - loosi at home Feb 22, 16:55

I've enjoyed the two cruises I've been on a lot, but the time on the boat was, while generally nice enough, the least favorite part of the trip. - pmb Feb 22, 15:17 24

  - I would rather go to Vegas. -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 15:52
  - But you can't play real golf on the boat. You can't walk on the beach. There can be rough seas (I've had them rough enough where my masseuse had to - pmb Feb 22, 15:42
